Critical Documents Stolen in Kano State High Court Invasion Amid #EndbadgovernanceinNigeria Protest.
In a troubling development, the Kano State government has disclosed that crucial documents have been stolen following the recent invasion of the State High Court. The incident occurred during the #EndbadgovernanceinNigeria protest, a movement that has gained momentum across the nation, advocating for better governance and accountability.
The stolen documents are reportedly tied to the ongoing corruption trial of APC National Chairman, the former Kano State Governor Abdullahi Ganduje.
The Kano government had earlier initiated legal action against Ganduje, his wife Hafsat, their son Umar Abdullahi, and five others. The charges, consisting of eight counts, involve allegations of misappropriation and diversion of public funds during Ganduje’s eight-year tenure as governor.
According to state authorities, the protest turned violent when demonstrators stormed the State High Court, leading to the theft of several important documents related to the high-profile corruption case.

The Kano State government has expressed serious concern over the theft, emphasizing the importance of the missing documents to the integrity of the ongoing trial. Authorities have indicated that efforts are being made to recover the stolen documents and ensure that those responsible for the theft and the court invasion are held accountable.
As the #EndbadgovernanceinNigeria movement continues to draw attention to issues of corruption and mismanagement in the country, the Kano incident highlights the challenges faced by state institutions in maintaining order and upholding the rule of law. The theft of critical legal documents not only threatens the prosecution of corruption cases but also undermines public trust in the justice system.
